The heart can be considered to be an enlarged blood vessel on the basis of evolutionary history. Blood vessels evolve earlier (which is to say, in more primitive organisms) than hearts, and they have all the features of hearts. They include such things as muscle, and valves, to help keep the blood moving in the right direction. Hearts just do that more vigorously.
